33 – II

Shhh…
Let me tell you something.
Close the door first.
No, check that there’s nobody outside then shut the door.
All clear? Positive? Good.
What- do you expect me to scream it to you across the room?? Come closer!!
Ok…now promise you won’t tell anyone…done? OK, here goes.

I don’t like women.
I never have, I doubt I ever will.
And this [...]

Various things have happened. None of them in the least interesting, but that’s never stopped me from writing about them before. Firstly, where I couldn’t find a single job, now I have two. Allah jab bhi deta he chappar phaar ke deta he. Chappar, patloon, chaata…in my case God doesn’t rain, He pours. Haye, how [...]

Ok- so this has been bothering me for some time now.
If these goray log think they’re so very smart, why haven’t they realized that only toilet paper isn’t adequate?

The muslim shower is king.
And how do they keep from scratching themselves  later?
Thank Allah for little blessings.

All things happen for the best in this best of all possible worlds. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
We worship Allah on the basis of His perfection. He is God, the One and Only, Absolute and Entire. We worship Him on the basis that He never makes mistakes. That He created humans exactly as He wanted them to [...]

Justifying pretty

I’m finding it hard to defend the liberal and fine arts. Arguments like “Humans were given a soul AS WELL as a body and mind,” and “the world needs more beauty and love” seem so Lennon they can’t be taken seriously; and to be honest, that’s the only argument for the USE of design I [...]

He he he…F-pshhht.

This post is rated PG-15  (Zehra, that means YOU). Please forgive me you guys, but I can’t not write about this.
I miss the F-word.
I’ve been cutting down, trying to find alternatives like fudge, n frig, n f-psssht (the noise I make when I start saying it and remember I shouldn’t) but they don’t give the [...]

Pothole and coffee

I’m thinking of making myself some coffee but getting off the chair, walking up the stairs, taking out the milk, and whipping the coffee seems too much work. I wonder if I can ask Allah for telekinesis as an engagement present (I’m sure one of my friends will say “isn’t getting a ring enough?”- the [...]

The Infinite Playlist!

Asked for a feel-good movie and got it- miraculously. Opened Ares today and found Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist in the library. How’d it get there? Who downloaded it? The butler? The spirit of Saint Valentine’s month? Is he (gasp!) going to visit me tonight along with the Ghosts of Saint Valentines Month past and [...]

Here’s to you, Mr. President

When you wake up tomorrow the world will have become a brighter, happier, safer place. There will be no more deaths in Iraq, no more fuel and food embargoes on the Palestinian people, Gitmo will have closed down and the world will take a huge breath of relief that they can sleep without the fear [...]

Ignorance is Sanity

Not having cable television limits you. You get information 8 hours late (on average) or through text messages where people assume you do know what’s going on, and then act shocked when you don’t. And it makes you feel that maybe the world isn’t falling apart as badly as it actually is.
But in cable-abstinence’s defense: [...]
